Vidar is a Windows infostealer that was first advertised in November 2018. Written in C++, Vidar collects PII, cryptocurrency wallets, documents and other data within the compromised machine. Version 2 of Vidar was published in October 2025, and has been used in numerous operations since its release. Vidar has been observed alongside other malware strains, including STOP/Djvu ransomware, Mina.exe (an XMRIG miner), and Clip1.exe (a Laplas Clipper sample).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
